???

30 Day SEC Yield as of Aug 24, 2026: 3.61%

12m Trailing Yield as of Aug 24, 2026: 3.74%

1.39% might not seem like a lot, but that's off by more than a quarter.

Rates are around 3.5% right now before taxes.

There's still many high interest savings accounts that are at least 4%

And you still need at least 5% to do what OP is suggesting.
